~Poems For Caleb~



Goodbye, my child, Goodbye



It's taken me awhile to know it,

It's taken me awhile to say it...

But, Goodbye, my child, Goodbye.

I hope to wake up from a nightmare,

I hope to sleep forever in a dream...

But, Goodbye, my child, Goodbye.

I can't deny the truth anymore,

I have to let you go...

But, Goodbye, my child, Goodbye.

I'm letting you go, my child,

So that you may rest in God's peace,

Not in my turmoil... So, Goodbye, my child, Goodbye.

If Tears Could Build a Stairway


If Tears Could build a Stairway
And Memories were a Lane
I would walk right up to Heaven
And Bring you Back again.
No Farwell words were spoken
No time to say Good-Bye
You were gone before I knew it
And Only God Knows Why.
My Heart still aches in sadness
Secret Tears still flow
What it ment to lose you
No One can Ever Know.
But now I know you want me
To mourn for you no more
To Remember all the Happy times
Life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place with my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

I'm Free


Don't grieve for me now,Im Free,I am following the path God laid for me I took his hand when I heard him call,I turned my back and left it all.I could not stay another day,to laugh,to love,to work or play.Tasks left undone must stay that way,I found that peace of close of day.
If My parting has left a void,Then fill it with remembered Joy.A friendship shared,a laugh,a kiss,ah yes these things I too will miss.Be not burdened with times of sorrow,I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.My lifes been full,I savored much:Good times,good friends,a loved ones touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all to brief:Dont lengthen it now with undue grief.Lift up your hearts and share with me,God wanted me now,He set me Free..

Lent For A While


"I'll lend you for a little while a child of Mine,"He said,
"for you to love the while he lives, and mourn for when he is dead,
It may be six or seven years, or twenty-three or three,
but will you 'till I call him back, take care of him for Me?
He will bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief,
you'll have his loving memories as solace for your grief.
I can not promise he will stay since all things from earth return,
but there are lessons down there I will this child to learn.
I've looked the wide world over in my search for teachers true,
and from the throngs that crowd life's lanes I have selected you.
Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labour vain,
Nor hate Me when I come to call to take him back again. I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief will run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may,
and for the happiness we've known, forever grateful stay,
And should the Angels call for him much sooner than we've planned,
we'll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand."
